A number of schools in the Canton, Rankin County and Pearl school districts have been cited for inaccuracies in student record-keeping, non-compliance with safety laws and policies, and too few students assigned textbooks.

Superintendents in each district say they've either fixed or are addressing problems pinpointed through reviews by the state auditor's office of the accuracy and reliability of student and personnel data districts provide to the state Department of Education. That data can play a role in how much per-student funding each district receives.
